Northumberland’s religious views were unclear as he seemed to drift between beliefs in order to achieve the most power possible for himself. This asserted him as a strong politician as he was able to adapt to different situations and remain powerful. On the other hand it made him unpopular with the majority as he was seen as unstable and unreliable. During his time in power, Northumberland and the country made huge steps towards Protestantism whilst maintaining no rebellions. This tells us that he had firm control of the country, and was allowing change in the safest of manors.
The Articles of Confederation were created as a new central government form after the American Revolution. The Articles still consisted of problems, specifically financial ones. Hamilton proposed a plan that would put U.S. finances on a stable foundation. He planned to lower national debt and strengthen the national credit because he believed that "a national debt was a national blessing". However, some people, such as Jefferson and small farmers opposed his ideas, because they believed in states' rights and a strict interpretation of the constitution, which led to the split of two different political parties.
As the flu of 1918 raged throughout the country and deepened its roots within the Northwest; the residents of Commonwealth are forced to make a decision that will judge the fate of their Washington based society. Charles, the founder and chief representative for the small lumber town, proposes the first controversial issue when he states his case in the beginning of the novel: “…only way not to get sick is to prevent the flu from getting into Commonwealth.’…‘I propose we close the town to outsiders and halt all trips out of town… ‘No one leaves Commonwealth, and no one comes in…(Mullen, 20).” This quarantine passed with a seemingly large percentage of pro-quarantine votes; however, another point of view can also raise questions of not only the physical right to safety, but economical side in a capitalist sense. Charles reassures the lumber mill workers by explaining the situation in business terms: “…we have enough provisions to keep the town closed off for nearly two months… that means not selling any lumber until we reopen the town…”(Mullen, 21). Extreme measures are taken to ensure no transference of the flu. Charles glazes over the topic, as if there would not be complications in
Legistlative Branch was to make laws, the Executive Branch is to enforce the laws, and the Judicial Brance is to interpret the laws. The Consititution banned states from being completely independent from one another but still be able to have their rights in independence for the people. Though these branches had remanded in the plans, it also followed into the Constitution. This new government would allow for a republic to rule, where the people had the oppurtunity to voice for themselves and to be heard that would respectfully benefit everyone in the country, and not just the majority. Peple had feared the Constitution, as it could potentially threaten their rights and properties.
He also desired equality and justice for all regardless of their religious or political affiliation but not through a government that had complete control over its people like an aristocrat would over “commoners.” Equality and protection of all citizens should be granted and protected by the government of America; a government elected by the people and for the people. Both men desired the government to have the common interest of the people at its cores, but had different ways of achieving it. Unlike Washington, who favored a centralized government, Jefferson opposed it. This created a conflict because Jefferson feared that the ideology of republicanism was threatened with a centralized and powerful government proposed by Washington as well as the supposed monarchical tendencies of Hamilton and the
Caesar was not a strong enough leader for Rome, a booming city that was quickly accumulating knowledge and wealth. He needed to be stopped before he turned Rome into a monarchy, or even a dictatorship. Brutus did not kill Caesar out of jealousy or hatred. In fact, he considered Caesar to be a good friend of his, while Caesar returned these feelings. Despite this, Brutus was more loyal to his country, the land he calls home, and the people with whom he shares it with.
While volunteering to serve for his country he fought with skill and courage in many campaigns during the American Revolution, not many people know that the description above is for the man Benedict Arnold, who is best known for betraying his country. This book really showed him growing up, going off to war, and what influenced him to make one of the most historic decisions of American history. When Arnold was young his father didn’t manage the family’s money well, and they were financially ruined when Arnold was thirteen. This was a foreshadowing of things to come in Arnold’s future. As a young man Arnold volunteered for the French & Indian War.
WWII: Chapter 25 Roosevelt= peace, WWII= “War to end all wars” Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928- Almost all nations pledged not to use military force for aggressive ends.

Although i believe many things from both people, I would have to say my philosophy would be Jefferson’s philosophy because he believed every word of the Constitution. It does not make sense to compose an important document that is beneficial to the people, and not stand by it. That's like being a teacher who composes a set of classroom rules and does not enforce them. 8.) I believe Adams was a great president because he managed to keep George Washington’s policy of remaining neutral and staying isolated.
It loses a lot of what could strengthen it to make it more of historical fiction. Although the story, written and published a long time ago, in contemporary times, make readers wonder, "Where exactly does this fit in to my understanding of the Civil War?" The changes that Henry goes through make this story a coming of age story. He enters the army as a young man and, after several battles, leaves a real man. Before he sees his first action, we see him battling with feelings of insecurity and cowardice.
